Daily Helps to Hcnlth
and Happiness
BOBOROB P. UUTLER. A. M- M. D.
The world li a grind old
place and we re pretty ture of
the reward we deserve. We may
grumble and growl at advert
Ity. We may moan and make
mlterable over misfortune we
may chafe under trouble, but In
our Inmost hearta we know why
we tuffer thete. and that the
faults It would be convenient to
lay on the doorsteps of others
belong to us.
Remember, that all sunshine
makes the desert. If we had no
clouds or storms In our experi
ence, our life would be barren
and useless. A little trouble Is a
good thing. It cheeks reckless
ness, opens the eyes of the
blind plunger and endows the
unappreclatlng with the sense
of appreciation.
As the misfortunes, the
troubles, t.'ie miss-steps of
others are of value to us In
our struggles for attainment,
so are our errors of value to
others. We would avoid them
If we could. We should avoid
them, but when they come to us
let us bend our shoulders to
their burda-.s or ptueklly get
beneath and throw them off.
And let us do It ourselves. It
will make us happier, stronger,
better men Independent, cour
ageous, progressive, and daunt
lessly ambitious. It will make
of us the very men the world
needs, ana needs bdly.
